by Albert Alden 1834

A Scene at Sunrise

“This picture represents a scene in the country at sunrise. The farmer with a hoe in one hand, and in the other a basket, is going forth to his daily labour. He rises early and is very industrious, toiling cheerfully with the hopes of an abundant harvest. At a distance we see a cottage which belongs to the farmer and the maid who takes care of the dairy is milking one of the cows. Another cow is lying down on the green grass.

“Of milk we make butter, cheese, and many other good things. The cow is one of the most estimable animals.”
